" Having been to Big Rock Inn a few times in the past, I was eager to try it again after hearing about the changes in management. The dining area was just as cozy as I remembered, with friendly staff who were eager to help. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to my expectations. The hot and sour soup was good, but the spring rolls were cold and tasteless. The banquet portion sizes were generous, but I left feeling disappointed overall. I may give it another shot in the future, but for now, it's a skip for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I went to Big Rock Inn, I enjoyed my meal thoroughly! The atmosphere was lively, and the staff was accommodating. This was my first buffet experience here, so I was eager to explore. I loved the variety of dishes on offer, but some were only okay. However there was this amazing garlic squid that was a standout! The sweet and sour pork was a bit on the sweeter side compared to what I prefer. Still, I think there’s potential here under new management, and I'll return to see how things go. " (*Curated Review*)

" Big Rock Inn has a casual vibe that makes dining feel comfortable and enjoyable. I stopped by for takeout last week and was pleasantly surprised by the prompt service. The ginger chicken was okay but didn’t wow me like it used to. The portions were generous enough, and I appreciated the range of sauces available. I noticed they have placed more emphasis on casual dining lately which could be appealing to some. Still, I believe focusing on food authenticity and taste should be a priority. " (*Curated Review*)

" The new management at Big Rock Inn seems to be struggling with the food quality, which is unfortunate because I had fond memories of this place. I ordered several different dishes during my last visit, and none of them impressed me. The lemon chicken was too sweet, and the ginger beef lacked the punch of flavor I was hoping for. However, the good news is that the service was friendly and attentive. If they could fix their food issues, a return trip might be possible, but for now I'd recommend looking elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a big fan of Chinese buffets, and I've frequented many over the years. Big Rock Inn used to be my top choice, but after my last visit, I'm not quite sure. While the variety was there, the quality has declined significantly since the recent ownership change. The chicken dishes were greasy and lacked taste, and it felt like the buffet hadn't been properly maintained. The atmosphere remains cozy, but I think I'll hold off until I hear better reviews before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I remember when Big Rock Inn was a go-to spot for my family in years past. Although I’ve visited since the management switch, I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed. Everything from the crispy beef to the fried rice just lacked the flavor that used to make it special. The ambiance remains inviting, and the prices are fair, but without food consistency, I’m afraid I won’t be making it a regular stop anymore. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to check out Big Rock Inn for dinner last night, and what an experience it was! We were impressed by the fast service, as our orders came out piping hot. The portions were incredibly generous; we ended up taking half our meals home. I tried the ginger beef, which was good but a bit sweet for my taste. My kids absolutely loved the sesame chicken. While I wouldn’t say it was the most authentic Chinese food I’ve ever had, it certainly hit the spot. We left feeling satisfied and will likely return. " (*Curated Review*)
